[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Muhommed Abed: [qb] And what about "Tawny moor"? According to your logic, that would mean - "Tawny as a Moor." I think you should reconsider the exegesis on Black-a-moor. Just incase you've never heard of a tawnymoor: Tawny \Taw"ny\, a. [Compar. Tawnier; superl. Tawniest.] [F. tann['e], p. p. of tanner to tan. See Tan, v. t. & n. Cf. Tenn['e].] Of a dull yellowish brown color, like things tanned, or persons who are sunburnt; as, [b]tawny Moor or Spaniard[/b]; the tawny lion. "A leopard's tawny and spotted hide." --Longfellow. [1913 Webster] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: Do you mean black - a -Moor as in Haydyn "the blackaMoor" so called because he was like a Moor in color as J. A Rogers rightly wrote.. Or do u mean the Stormfront brand of blackaMoor. Black as a Moor = Black -a -Moor! :eek: [/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]That is not my logic - Abed. That is what it meant black -a - moor is also different than tawny Moor i.e. "tawny Negro". And yes the term white moor came to be used as well after 1000 years of the word Moor meaning Negro. Also I submit to you one should not just make up things without showing the proof of it outside of Wikipedia or Stormfront or else one runs into problems. [/qb][/QUOTE]According to your logic Haydn the composer and other Europeans were called blackaMoors because they were black Moors. Now how much sense does that make? [/QB][/QUOTE]
